It feels like a long time since I've posted some of my creations. It
has been so busy for me - I just returned from a whirl wind trip to
Amsterdam, The Hague, Antwerp (well at least for a few hours) and
Paris. Even though the trip was work related, we still managed to have
some fun. Our first day in Amsterdam included cycling around the city -
definitely fun and a great way to see the city, but a little scary at
times. There are so many bikes - I wasn't so afraid of being hit by a
car, but of being hit by another bike.

This is a picture of all of the bikes outside Amsterdam Centraal - the main train station. Wow!

Enjoying a croquette - one of our many stops on the bikes.

I created these cards for a stamping event I had in Regina a couple of weeks ago. Finally got the pictures off of my camera.

This card uses the new Core'dinations Paper which has a white centre. I embossed the early espresso paper (Item 127848) and then sanded the texture to remove some of the top layer. I also used the new Cherry Cobbler Tulle (Item 127841) - it's so easy to make a great looking bow with this ribbon

For this card I used the triple stamping technique that is is popular. You layer 3 pieces of card stock and stamp your images - I used the Evergreen stamp set (Item 127973). It doesn't really matter if they aren't perfect - it doesn't show once you mount the 3 layers on card stock or in this case 1 of my layers is using the Glimmer Paper in Champagne (Item 127855). This will definitely be one of the Christmas Cards I send out this year! Sorry for the sneak peak!

The last card uses 2 of the stamping wheels - Snowflake Party (Item 127870) and Good Cheer (Item 127871). I stamped with the Illuminate Glimmer Watermark Pad (Item 126857). It's a bit hard to see, but it adds a shimmer to the image. The stampset on the base of the card is Snowflake Soiree (item 127925) and then white ribbon and rhinestones to finish off the card.

I'm holding a Christmas Card Class that will feature some of these cards on November 17th. For more information and to register, you can click here.

Hi everyone,
It has been a week or so since I've posted. It's been quite a week as I've been suffering with a horrible cold or perhaps it was the flu. I was away on business last week - what a horrible time to get sick. Of course, it it has definitely meant that I haven't been able to be creative!

I had an Open House with a few friends last week. I'll share some of the cards I demonstrated over the next few days. In the mean time, I want to share some of the ornaments that I have been creating. I've started by Christmas presents in making these ornaments. You may recognize the ornament from the front page of the Holiday Catalogue.

There's a Stampin' Up! promotion on for October - 15% discount on the Christmas Ornament bundles plus a free piercing pack. Check out my former post for details.

Happy Thanksgiving to all of my Canadian friends! I didn't get to cook a turkey this year as I had to travel to a client site yesterday - that will teach me to delay booking flights.
I want to share a Thanksgiving card that I made as a swap for the Stampin' Up! Convention in July. I know I have shared it before, but it fits for the day. Today is definitely a day to think about all that we are grateful for.

I am grateful for all of my wonderful family and the wonderful people in my life.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
